Finally was able to lay one of my target bucks down on New Years Eve here in Tyler. No giant, but my personal best and I am very proud of him! Shot through some brush with a 45-70, and had a 2 yard blood trail to follow. He is now at the Taxidermist being mounted to go in my office, and at the processor to fill my freezer.

Heck of a buck man. Congrats!!! What grain bullet are you shooting out of that 45-70?

250 grain . It left one heck of a hole . I didn't have an exit wound which was amazing to me . He was quartering towards me when I shot . When dressing him I found the bullet along with probably 50 pieces of rib throughout his body . It literally exploded his rib cage .. It left a mark for sure
